So, new user Effervescence left a post in the introduction thread that, well, I'm going to let speak for itself.

Hello, everyone. I go by the name of 'Skirmish', or any friendly alterations of it. The name possesses some sort of sentimental value, as it came to me during hard times of my life. Anyways, following @Propheretic's format, I am a Scorpio (I just had my birthday on the 31st of October) and thus, I am free to discuss anything regarding sex, drugs and how to [DATA EXPUNGED]. I freely use expletives, albeit at the right time.

Originally, I found the site many years ago, but did not think much of it (I stumbled upon it when I typed in some shit like "Porn Foundation" or something, it was a weird fetish in the past, don't question okay? I've moved on to Glasses, fairly normal). A few years later, I found the articles inside immensely interesting, and so aspired to write some for myself and see how difficult it is.

I plan to write a few traditional Myths, such as the Basilisk and Wendigo. I am not against anyone if they decide to take these ideas (though they are fairly uninteresting). I also plan to write some tales and Joke SCPs. I look forward to writing about the Foundation personnel, such as Dr. Bright and Dr. Kondraki. (don't hurt me)

I have no worries as of yet, but I will ask the helpful members of this site if I experience any troubles.

As for the random question, I don't know shit about birds. I'll just say the sound of the Holocaust.

Emphasis mine. For reference, the random question was "if you were a bird, what would your birdcall/song/hunting screech sound like?".

Now, I'm not disciplinary, but I can't see any reason to let this guy remain on our site.

Yeah, it's fine, as long as I can read the articles. Anyways, which part was 'shitty'? I am not threatening anyone or angry, I just want to know. Happens to me a lot. I would like to know, I'm open for any reasons for my ban. Was it too inappropriate for a welcome?

Thanks,
Mr. "Shit I need to learn the ending for a letter."

And then this, which makes the shortlist for my favorite messages:

Oops, found out the Holocaust thing. Never mind then.

So, uh, not rude, but also not necessarily (or just flat not) an apology either.

Not disc staff, but I'm tossing my two cents into the mix to get the discussion rolling.

Gonna provide a tl;dr on what I kinda rambled about in chat. I feel a lengthier ban is needed, yes. But a permaban shouldn't be enacted. I say this as this didn't come off as being intentionally malicious, and just felt like someone with an shitty sense of humor trying to make a few jokes. As our community leans pretty heavily to the left and is fairly closely moderated, and a lot of the internet is not like that.

I'm willing to give this person the benefit of the doubt and hope they'll see why this kind of humor is not tolerated here, by suggesting a one month ban, with the possibility that if they make an appeal and we accept it, the ban be shortened to a week.

The avatar itself is of Singing Knuckles, something that predates Ugandan Knuckles by quite a bit. So I accepted the app now after he came in 17 to ask about it (apparently he never got a message about why it was denied). But if he's gonna be a shit, then we'll just as easily know. He said he'd change his avatar in #site17 anyway, so it's taken care of on all aspects.
